My heart was breaking for Booth all the way through 'The girl in the Gator'. He was really struggling to appear supportive of Brennan's new relationship with Sully, and that final scene was heart-crushing. I too think he knew he wanted Brennan right from the start but those insecurities of his were far too deep-rooted for him to do anything about it, and then he saw Sully doing that very thing. His constant interference in their plans by calling Brennan back to the lab were testament to the fact that he wanted to keep Brennan and Sully from spending too much time alone together. Naughty jealous Boothy!
Sully definitely earns a place on that list of Brennan'a unsuitable suitors, imo. He obviously didn't stick at anything for long and if Brennan had decided to sail off into the sunset with him she could easily have found herself out on a limb when he reverted to form and suddenly decided to ditch the boat idea and go off somewhere else instead. Whether she came to realise that is moot, really.
I SO agree with Huronia - that last scene on the dock in Boneless Bride was a real demonstration of Booth's constancy, and his thoughtfulness. (Probably peppered with a little bit of relief though, I'm guessing. Bless him.) And yes, he looked SO good. Standing there.....! Sigh..
